The Easiest Way to Find Profitable Rental Properties

For nearly a decade, Airbnb investing was seen as the golden ticket in real estate. Investors everywhere jumped on the short-term rental bandwagon, scooping up homes to transform into profit-generating Airbnb listings. But times have changed — and so has the market. With rising regulations, declining occupancy rates, and oversaturation in popular cities, it’s becoming clear: the Airbnb era is winding down. If you’re a real estate investor looking for long-term stability and predictable returns, now’s the time to pivot — and smart investors are already moving on.

⿡ 1️⃣On-Market Deals ≠ Missed Opportunity

Forget the myth that only off-market properties yield profits. In reality:

• 80% of worthwhile investment deals can be found through on-market listings via MLS, Zillow, Redfin, etc.

• The key lies in efficient filtering—not unveiling hidden opportunities.

2️⃣ Adopt a “Deal Funnel” Approach

Dave’s proven mental model is the deal funnel, which helps you efficiently separate promising properties from poor fits:

3️⃣ Leverage House Offer 365: A Game-Changer

✅ Cash flow projections

✅ Cap rate estimates

✅ Cash-on-cash return

✅ Rent-to-value ratio

4️⃣ Sample Deal Breakdown

In a live demo for Indianapolis listings, Dave identifies a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home listed at $285K. Key numbers include:

• Estimated rent: $2,500/month

• $265/month cash flow, ~5% cash-on-cash cash with 20% down

• After adjusting assumptions (25% down, 6.75% interest), cash-on-cash rises to 5.1% ($350/month)

5️⃣ Underwriting: Verifying the Assumptions

Once 20 deals pass quick screening, move into deep underwriting:

1. Validate estimated rent—use Rent Estimator, local comps, talk to agents/managers

2. Confirm fixed costs: taxes, insurance, financing costs

3. Estimate variable costs: repairs, maintenance, vacancy, CapEx

4. Run full underwriting via House Offer 365 team

5. Adjust for conservative scenarios, especially if investing remotely

6️⃣ Site Visits & Local Insights

After narrowing to ~5 properties:

• Conduct in-person walkthroughs or assign a trusted agent/property manager if remote

• Be alert for hidden upside opportunities (e.g., zoned accessory units, convertible basements)

• Ensure layout, location, tenant appeal

 This step helps reveal risks—weak layouts, neighborhood drawbacks, or missed revenue upgrades.

7️⃣Final Offer Decision

Of those 5, expect 1–2 viable deals—maybe only 1 will lead to a winning offer. Why? Efficiency and discipline. You’ll know it’s not a shot in the dark; it’s the best deal on the market backed by data and diligence.
